Percentage Formula

• Now, to calculate the percentage we have to know
  its formula. The formula to calculate percentage
  is equal to the ratio of the actual value to the
  total value multiplied by 100. The percentage
  formula is
• Percentage, (Value 100) / Total Value
• Let us understand this concept and formula with
  the help of an illustrative example given below
• Example A circle is given below with 10
  divisions and few parts are shaded. Calculate the
  percentage of shaded parts in the circle.

Solution

• Total number of divisions in the circle 10
• Number of shaded parts 2
• We know that,
• Percentage, (Value 100) / Total Value
• Thus, the percentage of the shaded part of the
  circle (Number of shaded divisions)/ (Total
  number of divisions) 100
• (2/10) 100
• 20

How Do You Calculate Average Marks?

• The average test score obtained is the sum of all
  the scores divided by the number of test-takers.
• For example suppose 3 students took a test and
  received scores of 69, 87, and 92,
• Solution
• Average marks (698792 ) / 3
• 248/ 3
• 82.66

What is the Difference Between Percentage
Fraction?

• Percentage and fractions are very closely related
  but have a major difference. A fraction is when a
  2 units are divided and a resultant represents a
  part of the whole. Meanwhile, percentage is when
  the fraction is multiplied by 100.
• Example percentage of marks scored in maths 39/
  50100
• 0.78
• 39/50 is a fraction whose resultant is 0.78 which
  is a part of the whole.
• When we multiply this 0.78 by 100 we get 78 .

How To Calculate Percentage Error?

• Percentage Error is the difference between
  approximate (or observed) value and exact (or
  actual value) as a percentage of actual value. It
  is used for purposes like to check manufacturing
  or calibration errors in measuring instruments.\
• Percentage Error (Approximate or Observed
  Value Exact or Actual Value) / Exact or Actual
  Value x 100
